The debian packages and what you get off nvidia's site are the same.
Showstopper bugs:
1) License
2) Will occasionally lock up the system without putting anything in
the log (though this is getting less frequent over time.
3) Drivers don't perform as well as the Windows version
Item 3 is really damning, nVidia cards are the only video cards I've
seen that consistently perform craptastically under Linux.
Fuck nVidia, nVidia sucks. They should just call it quits now while
they still have fans.
